Transcription

1 The following is a list of content in this article. ARTICLE 22 USE CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS Use Categories Definitions Natural Resource Definitions USE CATEGORIES [Use Categories in Sections added by Ord. 5555, 2/7/03] Introduction to the Use Categories. This section classifies land uses and activities into use categories based on common functional, product, or physical characteristics. The use categories provide a systematic basis for assigning present and future uses to zones. The decision to allow or prohibit the use categories in the various zones is based on the zoning district purpose statements. The Schedules of Permitted Uses (by zoning district), special conditions and the development standards are located in Article 3, Residential Zoning Districts; Article 4, Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts; and Article 5, Mixed Use Village Center Zoning Districts. The environmental performance standards in Article 9, On-site Development and Environmental Standards, may limit the placement of certain uses in some zoning districts. INDUSTRIAL USE CATEGORIES Contractors and Industrial Services Manufacturing and Production Small-scale Manufacturing Railroad Yards Warehousing and Distribution Waste and Recycling Related Wholesale Sales COMMERCIAL USE CATEGORIES Adult Entertainment Entertainment and Recreation, Indoor and Outdoor Offices Parking Facility Recreational Vehicle Park Restaurants Retail Sales and Service Self-Serve Storage Taverns, Bars, Breweries and Night Clubs Vehicle Repair Vehicle Service, Quick INSTITUTIONAL USE CATEGORIES Basic Utilities Community Services Daycare Facility Educational Institutions Hospitals Jails and Detention Facilities Parks, Open Areas and Cemeteries Religious Institutions Albany Development Code, Article October 14, 2017

2 RESIDENTIAL USE CATEGORIES Residential Care or Treatment Facility Assisted Living Facility Single Family, Two Family Units Multiple Family: Three or More Units Unit(s) Above or Attached to a Business Residential Accessory Buildings OTHER USE CATEGORIES Accessory Buildings, Non-Residential Agriculture Communication Facility Kennels Passenger Terminals Rail and Utility Corridors [Ord. 5742, 7/14/10] Description of Use Categories. (1) Considerations. Uses are assigned to the category whose description most closely describes the nature of the primary use. Each use category is described and defined. Developments may have more than one primary use. Developments may also have one or more accessory uses. The following are considered in determining what category the use is in, and whether the activities constitute primary uses or accessory uses: The description of the activity(ies) in relationship to the characteristics of each use category; The relative amount of site or floor space and equipment devoted to the activity; Relative amounts of sales from each activity; The customer type for each activity; The relative number of employees in each activity; Hours of operation; Building and site arrangement; Vehicles used with the activity; The relative number of vehicle trips generated by the activity; Signs; How the use advertises itself; and Whether the activity would be likely to be found independent of other activities on the site. (2) Developments with multiple primary uses. When all of the primary uses of a development fall into one use category, the development is assigned to that use category. For example, a development that contains a retail bakery and a café would be classified in the Retail Sales and Service category because all of the primary uses are in that category. When the primary uses of a development fall into different use categories, each primary use is classified in the applicable category and is subject to the regulations for that category. (3) Accessory Uses. Accessory uses are incidental to the primary use category and may contribute to the comfort, convenience, or necessity of the principal use. Examples of accessory uses include but are not limited to storage, employee and customer parking, and employee facilities. These uses are allowed by right in conjunction with the use unless stated otherwise in the regulations. Unless otherwise stated, they are subject to the same regulations as the primary use. [Ord. 5742, 7/14/10] Lists of accessory uses were deleted from the use categories in Sections to by Ord. 5742, adopted 7/14/10]. Albany Development Code, Article October 14, 2017

3 (4) Use Examples. The Use Examples subsection of each use category provides a list of examples of uses that are included in the category. The names of uses on the lists are generic. They are based on the common meaning of the terms and not on what a specific use may call itself. For example, a use whose business name is Wholesale Liquidation but that sells mostly to consumers would be included in the Retail Sales and Service category rather than the Wholesale Sales category. This is because the actual activity on the site matches the description of the Retail Sales and Service category. INDUSTRIAL USE CATEGORIES Contractors and Industrial Services (1) Contractors and industrial services uses perform services or provide materials related to building construction or remodeling, and the repair or servicing of industrial, business or consumer machinery, equipment, products or by-products.
